that continues to worry traders about energy demand. and on the flip side, we have the syria/turkey tensions continuing to support the market. you can see that better in the brent crude market which didn't falter much in the past week where nymex futures, wti futures falling sharply, down about 2% last week. three weeks in a row, lower prices. still at the lower end of the $88 to $92 range we've been stuck in. but the real story is what's going on in california. california, big part of the reason that we saw the spike-up in gas futures last week. and now that governor jerry brown has now said that we are not going to -- that we are going to be to have winter grade gasoline for the wholesale market, that is supposed to boost supplies, drive down prices. we've seen it in the wholesale level. and we've already seen a little bit of a weakening here in the arbob market as well. prices will start to trickle down. jane wells all over that story. we'll have much more coming up. back to you. >> thank you, sharon. >>> big week for the marriage ba

prices and energy really is the story in the commodities market today. look at the $3 slide in crude oil and a lot has to do with the demand outlook. traders are focused on what is coming out of asia. news about china's pmi services data was weak then expected, but really it's what the asian development bank had to say about emerging asian nations and the gdp growth forecast that they have for them. they rationed down their expectations for 2012 and 2013. this is supposed to be the engine of growth, the engine of demand for crude oil and for other industrial commodities. if it's not there, what's going to happen, we'll see perhaps an even further slide here in oil prices. we also got data from the u.s. energy department and that also was a bit of a surprise in terms of the supply side. but in terms of demand, continuing to see anemic demand in terms of gasoline demand, down 2.5% versus a year ago. and this is already as we're getting the slide to the winter grade of gasoline. so since that rollover, we have seen a steady slide in gasoline futures. the on
